BIG KAISER Releases Two New Chip Breaker Inserts For Finish Boring Long chips that are difficult to evacuate can lead to poor surface finishes when chips are dragged around by the tool. Insert life can be severely reduced if these chips are re-cut by the insert, and in smalldiameter applications, stringy chips can wrap around the tool to the point where a crash occurs. The exclusive FLM 3D chip-breaker design is used on PCD-tipped inserts ideal for finishing of aluminum components, where traditional flat-top inserts may produce a large continuous nest of chips that is difficult to remove from the bore and/or tool, even with high-pressure coolant.

Electrically Heated Pit Furnace L&L Special Furnace Co., Inc. has manufactured a fourth high-uniformity, pit-style furnace used for annealing. This furnace has been supplied to an industry leader that manufactures aerospace fasteners and supplies to a worldwide client base. The annealing process occurs when the parts are evenly heated to 1,400°F / 760°C and held for a predetermined amount of time. Temperature uniformity is critical to this process, and both ambient and load temperature must maintain ±10°F throughout the cycle. There is a five-horsepower, air-cooled turbo convection fan included to aid in temperature uniformity.
Mate Precision Tooling Announces Availability Of Custom Press Brake Tooling Mate Precision Tooling now offers modified standard and custom Press Brake Tools that supplement its extensive range of standard hardened and precision ground Press Brake Tools (PBT). While Mate’s standard tools fulfill the needs for most fabricating operations, bending variations may require modifying the angle of a standard punch or die a few degrees. Sometime the angle of the standard punch or die needs to be modified. This is easily accomplished because the induction hardening depth is 3mm-4mm (.118 in - .157 in). This allows material removal to modify an angle or change a radius without jeopardizing the structural integrity of the tool.
